Sleep on it

International garage rock superstars The Sedatives were up next on the Hard Rock Stage. There were lots of familiar faces in the crowd - the same people who turned out for the Gaga Weekend, organized by Sedatives organist Ian Manhire. Speaking of organs, he had the real deal, a Hammond with Leslie rotary speaker, to play this time.

The band is resting up after a trip to Europe, but with a new 7-inch expected soon, I figure a release party looms. And of course the band members have other stuff on their plate ... for example Dave will be performing with Year Zero and some secret band rock at the Atomic Rooster as part of the Rock'N'Roll Pizza Party.
